Let's Make Dumplings!: A Comic Book Cookbook by Hugh Amano, Sarah Becan

5.0

Dumplings are a food that I eat more than once a week and one of the few foods I never get sick of. I grew up on my mother's handmade dumplings, not even knowing what a luxury I was experiencing on the regular. I always helped her assemble the dumplings but rarely knew what the beginning of the process entailed.

This combines the concept of a fun and colorful graphic novel with the how-to instructions of a cookbook. The colors are vibrant and the illustrations are so realistic, it never fails to make me hungry for real dumplings. The recipes contain basic information, traditional recipes, and interesting twists on Asian dumplings, the best kind there are (but I may be biased). The step by step instructions are clearly depicted and explained and makes homemade dumplings accessible to even the most novice cooks.
